Trusted non-slip bath coating in Etterby

Non-slip bath coating in Etterby without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Etterby

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Etterby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Etterby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

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

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

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