Non-slip bath coating in Kirkwhelpington

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kirkwhelpington

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How do I book?

Can landlords book you?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Kirkwhelpington?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
