Landlords, agents and businesses in Normanby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Middlesbrough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Normanby
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Normanby
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TS6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
