How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kirkby Stephen

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kirkby Stephen and across Cumbria. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Kirkby Stephen

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Kirkby Stephen. Prices don’t change with location.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you work in Kirkby Stephen?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kirkby Stephen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Kirkby Stephen?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

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

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Kirkby Stephen

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
