Non-slip bath coating in Askam in Furness

Non-slip bath coating in Askam in Furness without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Askam in Furness

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.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Askam in Furness?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Askam in Furness for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Askam in Furness

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Askam in Furness

There is no charge for travel to Askam in Furness. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
