About our non-slip bath coating in Dunkirk

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunkirk as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Dunkirk

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Dunkirk?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Dunkirk?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dunkirk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Dunkirk

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Dunkirk?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
