Non-slip bath coating in Desborough

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Desborough

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Desborough

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK

What affects the price in Desborough

We don’t charge extra for travel to Desborough. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Desborough

How soon can you come?

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

Do you cover Desborough?

We do. We send a technician to Desborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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 a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Desborough

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
