Non-slip bath coating in Balby

Non-slip bath coating in Balby, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Balby

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.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Balby

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?

Everywhere in the UK, Balby included. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Why repair rather than replace?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
