How we handle non-slip bath coating in Haltwhistle

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Haltwhistle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Haltwhistle

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we’re called out for in Haltwhistle

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in Haltwhistle
