About our non-slip bath coating in Lea by Backford

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repair or replace in Lea by Backford?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 before you book.
