Our hiring checklist

About our non-slip bath coating in Stockton-on-Tees

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

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.

Common questions in Stockton-on-Tees

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Stockton-on-Tees included. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Repairing versus replacing in Stockton-on-Tees

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Stockton-on-Tees get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
