Trusted non-slip bath coating in Lathom

Landlord and trade work in Lathom

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lathom as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Non-slip bath coating in Lathom, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lathom as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Lathom: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Lathom?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
