How we handle non-slip bath coating in Didsbury

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, 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.

What affects the price in Didsbury

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

In fairness, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Didsbury use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

FAQs for Didsbury

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Didsbury.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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 tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a 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. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
