Non-slip bath coating near Cheadle

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cheadle

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cheadle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not 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 quote.

When to call us in Cheadle

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK

Questions from Cheadle

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

Across the UK, so Cheadle is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cheadle.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
