Trusted non-slip bath coating in Garstang

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Non-slip bath coating in Garstang without replacing anything

It suits 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. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Garstang

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
