Non-slip bath coating in Ferryhill

About our non-slip bath coating in Ferryhill

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

Big or small, 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.

FAQs for Ferryhill

Is it messy?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Ferryhill. Prices do not change with location.

Are there extra charges for Ferryhill?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover Ferryhill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ferryhill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 booking.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
