Non-slip bath coating in Easington without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Easington

We do not charge extra for travel to Easington. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Easington

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you cover Easington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Easington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

For landlords and businesses

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Easington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

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
