Need non-slip bath coating in Carrington?

What a repair cannot fix

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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Carrington

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Carrington: your questions answered

Do you come to Carrington?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Carrington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Carrington

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carrington

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we are called out for in Carrington

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
