Need non-slip bath coating in Little Horton?

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Little Horton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Horton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Little Horton questions

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Little Horton?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Little Horton

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
