Book non-slip bath coating in Acklington

What we’re called out for in Acklington

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Acklington

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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Acklington?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Acklington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us
