Book non-slip bath coating in Flimby

What affects the price in Flimby

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Flimby

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done 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.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Flimby?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
