Non-slip bath coating in Grindon

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Non-slip bath coating in Grindon, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right.

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

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Grindon

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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.

Grindon: your questions answered

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Grindon.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, 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.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
