Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lower Slackstead

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Lower Slackstead: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Lower Slackstead. Prices don’t change with location.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Slackstead

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Lower Slackstead

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
