10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating in Bagby without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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 adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Bagby. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Bagby questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bagby

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

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.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price
