Book non-slip bath coating in Carlinghow

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Carlinghow

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Carlinghow

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Carlinghow?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Carlinghow. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carlinghow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Carlinghow get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
