How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bank Top

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bank Top and across Newcastle upon Tyne. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Bank Top questions

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover Bank Top?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bank Top and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
