Non-slip bath coating for Broom Hill homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Broom Hill

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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Broom Hill

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

How to compare quotes

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 treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Broom Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Broom Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Broom Hill

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Broom Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Broom Hill and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
