Non-slip bath & shower coating in Royal Oak, Darlington
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Royal Oak, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Non-slip bath coating in Royal Oak, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Royal Oak, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
Royal Oak: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Royal Oak?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Darlington.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Most jobs done in one visit

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.
