Non-slip bath coating in Great Harwood, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Harwood and across Lancashire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Great Harwood

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Harwood, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

FAQs for Great Harwood

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

If you’re in Great Harwood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Great Harwood

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
