Non-slip bath coating at your home in Mellor

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Mellor and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Mellor

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Mellor. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
