  • Safety for older or less mobile people

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Meltham

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Meltham

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Meltham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meltham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Meltham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
