Non-slip bath coating for East Kyo homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in East Kyo

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in East Kyo and across County Durham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Questions from East Kyo

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, East Kyo included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in East Kyo, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Common problems we fix in East Kyo

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for East Kyo. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
