About our non-slip bath coating in South Heighton
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Heighton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for South Heighton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN9 postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you come to South Heighton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Heighton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
