Non-slip bath coating at your home in North Cowton
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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 booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in North Cowton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in North Cowton
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Cowton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
