Non-slip bath coating in Carleton

About our non-slip bath coating in Carleton

It suits 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. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Carleton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carleton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Carleton?

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Carleton

There is no charge for travel to Carleton. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Carleton: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Carleton.

Do you come to Carleton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Carleton and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
