Non-slip bath coating in North Street without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What affects the price in North Street
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for North Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in North Street
Instead, you could go for 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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
