Non-slip bath coating in Creekmouth

About our non-slip bath coating in Creekmouth

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Creekmouth

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Creekmouth?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Creekmouth

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

When we would 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
