Non-slip bath & shower coating in Stony Heap, County Durham
Our repair technicians come to Stony Heap for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Stony Heap, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stony Heap and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Stony Heap. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Stony Heap, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
