Non-slip bath coating for Londonderry homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Londonderry

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Where we work around Londonderry

Londonderry is about 13 miles north of Strabane, in Derry. Our repair technicians come to clients in Londonderry, so there is no workshop to go to.

We cover every part of BT48. We also travel to Strabane (13 miles south), Limavady (15 miles east), Portstewart (27 miles north-east), Coleraine (28 miles east) and Portrush (30 miles north-east). For island and remote addresses, call first so we can plan the visit.

Local landmarks in Londonderry

Typical jobs here are in homes near St Mary's College, Derby Bar and St Cecilia's College, among other places. Nearby too are Claremont Presbyterian Church (within half a mile south-east), St. Columb's Park (0.8 miles south-east) and St Anne's Primary School (under half a mile south-west). Further afield, we also cover the area around Aileach Castle (2.3 miles north-west) and Richmond Centre (1 mile south). For a walk, there’s Enagh Lough and Holywell Hill.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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.

What we work on

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Londonderry

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

How to compare quotes

Londonderry questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Derry. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Londonderry as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Londonderry. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
