Non-slip bath coating in Old Durham without replacing anything
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. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Old Durham questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Old Durham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Durham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Old Durham
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
