Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ashington

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Ashington questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Landlord and trade work in Ashington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Ashington

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Ashington contact us include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
