Non-slip bath coating in Chelmorton

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chelmorton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chelmorton and across Derbyshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Chelmorton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Chelmorton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Chelmorton?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Chelmorton questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK17 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Chelmorton.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Chelmorton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Chelmorton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
