Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stanhope
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Worn-out textured areas

FAQs for Stanhope
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stanhope.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Stanhope?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
