Non-slip bath coating in Newcastle upon Tyne without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newcastle upon Tyne as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Newcastle upon Tyne
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works

- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
