Non-slip bath coating in East Ella

Non-slip bath coating in East Ella without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hull. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in East Ella

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from East Ella

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in East Ella?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How do I clean it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover East Ella?

We do. We send a technician to East Ella for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will I see the coating?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in East Ella

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
