Non-slip bath & shower coating in Old Shotton, County Durham
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Old Shotton and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Old Shotton
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Shotton
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Old Shotton
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Old Shotton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Old Shotton. Prices do not change with location.
What affects the price in Old Shotton
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Old Shotton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
