Non-slip bath coating near Irthlingborough

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Irthlingborough

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Irthlingborough

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Irthlingborough, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Irthlingborough

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Irthlingborough.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are there extra charges for Irthlingborough?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
