How we handle non-slip bath coating in Clifton

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Clifton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Clifton?

We do. Technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

All of Salford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Related advice

What we are called out for in Clifton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
