Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Melmerby

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Non-slip bath coating in Melmerby without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Melmerby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Melmerby

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
