Non-slip bath coating in Birkby

Non-slip bath coating in Birkby without replacing anything

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. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Birkby and across Kirklees. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Birkby

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

Common questions in Birkby

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

The whole UK, including all of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Birkby?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
