About our non-slip bath coating in East Rainton

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 regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

East Rainton questions

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover East Rainton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Rainton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including East Rainton and the rest of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in East Rainton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
