About our non-slip bath coating in Wearhead
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Wearhead
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Wearhead?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you come to Wearhead?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wearhead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
For a price in Wearhead, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Wearhead. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Wearhead
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Common reasons people in Wearhead contact us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wearhead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
