Non-slip bath coating near Crookgate Bank

Non-slip bath coating in Crookgate Bank without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Crookgate Bank

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Crookgate Bank

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Crookgate Bank?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
