Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Burnfoot

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TD9 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Non-slip bath coating in Burnfoot, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

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. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Burnfoot get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnfoot

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burnfoot use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Burnfoot

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
