Non-slip bath coating in Hindley

Non-slip bath coating in Hindley without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. 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
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hindley

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of Wigan?

Everywhere in the UK, Hindley included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hindley

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hindley

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hindley. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
