Trusted non-slip bath coating in East Markham

Non-slip bath coating at your home in East Markham

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

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in East Markham

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, East Markham included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 work on in East Markham

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

When to call us in East Markham

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in East Markham?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around East Markham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
