Non-slip bath coating near Medburn

Non-slip bath coating in Medburn without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Medburn questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Medburn. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Medburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Medburn

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Medburn contact us include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What we do, step by step

Once we’re 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, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

Repairing versus replacing in Medburn

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
