Non-slip bath coating near Kettleshulme

Non-slip bath coating in Kettleshulme, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Kettleshulme questions

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Kettleshulme?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Kettleshulme

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kettleshulme as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Kettleshulme

We charge the same across the UK, including Kettleshulme. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

If you are in Kettleshulme and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

When to call us in Kettleshulme

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
