Book non-slip bath coating in Astley

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Non-slip bath coating in Astley, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Astley and across Wigan. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Astley. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Most clients in Astley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Astley

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Materials we repair

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

Astley questions

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Astley?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can landlords book you?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
