Non-Slip Bath Coating across Gateshead

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gateshead

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Common problems we fix in Gateshead

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have.

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Gateshead

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gateshead.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
