Non-slip bath coating in Barrowby

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon. In a village or hamlet like Barrowby, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the non-slip bath coating works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Barrowby

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. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Older homes around Barrowby may have baths that have been in place for decades. If the bath is sound, non-slip bath coating gives it a new lease of life without disturbing the rest of the room.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Barrowby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. In an older home in a village like Barrowby, replacing a bath or shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Barrowby

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as All Saints Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
