Non-slip bath coating in Bishopthorpe

About our non-slip bath coating in Bishopthorpe

It suits 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. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Bishopthorpe

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Bishopthorpe

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Bishopthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bishopthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What affects the price in Bishopthorpe

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add 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 pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures 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 you will get a fixed figure back.

The process

We turn 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. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
