About our non-slip bath coating in Alsop en le Dale

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alsop en le Dale as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Alsop en le Dale

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

  • How soon you can use it again

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Repairing versus replacing in Alsop en le Dale

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
