Trusted non-slip bath coating in Brackenthwaite

Non-slip bath coating in Brackenthwaite, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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.

Materials we work on in Brackenthwaite

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

Brackenthwaite: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Brackenthwaite. Prices don’t change with location.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I clean it?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brackenthwaite as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
