Non-slip bath coating in Melsonby without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Melsonby and across North Yorkshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Melsonby

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Melsonby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Melsonby

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

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

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

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. We mask off everything nearby, 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. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Melsonby. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
