Non-slip bath coating in Arkendale

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Arkendale

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Arkendale

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

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

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Arkendale

Do you cover Arkendale?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Arkendale. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace in Arkendale?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Arkendale. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Arkendale, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arkendale

If you manage property in Arkendale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
