How we handle non-slip bath coating in Unthank
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Unthank as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Unthank
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Unthank

How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Unthank
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
