How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bell Bar

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Bell Bar?

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Bell Bar

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What information do you need?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bell Bar

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in Bell Bar

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bell Bar. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AL9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
