Non-slip bath coating for Causeway End homes

What affects the price in Causeway End

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Causeway End

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlords, agents and businesses in Causeway End

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Causeway End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
