Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cornforth

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in Cornforth

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace in Cornforth?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Outdoor surfaces

Cornforth: your questions answered

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Cornforth?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

We cover the entire UK, including Cornforth and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Common problems we fix in Cornforth

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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