Non-slip bath coating for Crigglestone homes

Non-slip bath coating in Crigglestone, done in place

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 technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crigglestone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Crigglestone and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Crigglestone

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairing versus replacing in Crigglestone

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
