About our non-slip bath coating in Inkerman

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Honest limits

In fairness, 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Inkerman, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Inkerman

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Inkerman

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Inkerman

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
