Non-slip bath coating near Kirton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kirton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we are called out for in Kirton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Choosing a repair company

Kirton questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

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

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I clean it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Kirton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
