Non-slip bath coating for Ardwick homes

What affects the price in Ardwick

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in Ardwick, done in place

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 worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Ardwick

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Ardwick?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When to call us in Ardwick

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

  • Outdoor surfaces
