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

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Great Sankey

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Great Sankey

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Sankey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
