Non-slip bath coating near Calderbrook

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Calderbrook

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, 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, with no extra for Calderbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Calderbrook

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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 happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you come to Calderbrook?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Calderbrook and the rest of Rochdale. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Rochdale.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Calderbrook?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rochdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Calderbrook. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

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

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
