How we handle non-slip bath coating in Barrow

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A 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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Barrow clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our full price list.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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.

FAQs for Barrow

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your S62 postcode.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the entire of Rotherham?

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
