Non-slip bath coating in Apethorpe, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Apethorpe

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Apethorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Apethorpe and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Apethorpe included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What we are called out for in Apethorpe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

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 let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Apethorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Apethorpe clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
