Non-slip bath coating in Todhills without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Todhills. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Todhills: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Todhills

  • Acrylic baths

  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Todhills as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Todhills

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Todhills?

Instead, you could go for 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Todhills. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
