  • Outdoor surfaces

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

Materials we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Non-slip bath coating in Kimblesworth, done in place

It’s popular with 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. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Kimblesworth

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How do I clean it?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Kimblesworth?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Kimblesworth?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Kimblesworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What affects the price in Kimblesworth

We charge the same across the UK, including Kimblesworth. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kimblesworth

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kimblesworth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.
