Non-slip bath coating in Shotton Colliery, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer
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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?
