Non-slip bath coating in Ludworth

About our non-slip bath coating in Ludworth

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Ludworth

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ludworth

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Ludworth

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

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

How do I book?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
