Non-slip bath coating in South Shields without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in South Shields and across South Tyneside. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
