The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

About our non-slip bath coating in The Slack
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in The Slack
What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around The Slack, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in The Slack
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Slack. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
