About our non-slip bath coating in Kirkby

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. 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, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Kirkby

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TS9 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

When to call us in Kirkby

Smooth surfaces are 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:

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

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Kirkby

There’s no area surcharge for Kirkby. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

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

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.
