About our non-slip bath coating in Butteryhaugh

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Butteryhaugh?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Butteryhaugh. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Butteryhaugh

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Butteryhaugh

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it messy?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Repairing versus replacing in Butteryhaugh

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 treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
