Non-slip bath coating in Burneside

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Burneside

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: 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.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Burneside

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Burneside: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Landlord and trade work in Burneside

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

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’ll say what we think before booking.
