About our non-slip bath coating in Ashington

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Ashington

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will I see the coating?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Ashington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Ashington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
