How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kirk Smeaton

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Kirk Smeaton

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Kirk Smeaton

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Kirk Smeaton

  • Enamelled baths

  • Acrylic baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Kirk Smeaton

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I clean it?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
