Non-Slip Bath Coating for Pity Me homes
Non-slip bath coating across Pity Me and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Pity Me
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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 is easier on the people living there.
Pity Me: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Pity Me included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Pity Me?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH1 postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Pity Me?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
