Need non-slip bath coating in Hunwick?

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Hunwick

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hunwick

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hunwick and across County Durham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Hunwick

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Hunwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Hunwick

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hunwick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Hunwick

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
