Non-slip bath & shower coating in South Bents, Sunderland
We travel to South Bents for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to South Bents. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Non-slip bath coating in South Bents without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix
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 booking.

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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Bents as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from South Bents
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to South Bents?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to South Bents and the rest of Sunderland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
