Trusted non-slip bath coating in Appleby Magna

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Appleby Magna

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Appleby Magna: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Appleby Magna

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Appleby Magna

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Appleby Magna

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip 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 if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
