Non-slip bath coating in Belsay

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Belsay

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Belsay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Belsay

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belsay

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
