How we handle non-slip bath coating in Idle

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Idle and across Bradford. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Idle

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What information do you need?

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

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Idle, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no charge for travel to Idle. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Idle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
