Non-slip bath & shower coating in Thornley, County Durham
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Thornley, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Non-slip bath coating in Thornley, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Thornley clients choose us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thornley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Thornley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
