Non-slip bath coating in Kielder

When to call us in Kielder

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.

Common reasons people in Kielder contact us are:

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

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating in Kielder without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Kielder

We don’t charge extra for travel to Kielder. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Kielder

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Repair or replace in Kielder?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Kielder customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kielder use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
