Non-slip bath coating in Eppleby

About our non-slip bath coating in Eppleby

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Eppleby

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace in Eppleby?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
