About our non-slip bath coating in Peterlee

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed 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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Questions from Peterlee

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover Peterlee?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Peterlee. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Peterlee, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Peterlee?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
