Non-slip bath coating for Urpeth homes

Non-slip bath coating in Urpeth without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Urpeth

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Urpeth

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Urpeth

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
