Need non-slip bath coating in Carr Mill?

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating in Carr Mill without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Carr Mill and across St Helens. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Carr Mill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Repair or replace in Carr Mill?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Carr Mill

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you come to Carr Mill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Carr Mill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
