Non-slip bath coating for Heighley homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Heighley

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Heighley

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Heighley?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Heighley

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Heighley?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cheshire East. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Landlord and trade work in Heighley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heighley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
