Non-slip bath coating in Wrekenton, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Wrekenton questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Wrekenton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered

What else we do in Wrekenton
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Wrekenton
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
