Non-slip bath coating for Allensford homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Allensford

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Allensford and across County Durham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Allensford. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

FAQs for Allensford

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you come to Allensford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Allensford and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price
