Non-slip bath coating in Heaton Norris

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Heaton Norris

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Heaton Norris: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK4 postcode.

Do you work in Heaton Norris?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Heaton Norris and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Heaton Norris, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Heaton Norris?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
