Non-slip bath coating in Meltham Mills, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When to call us in Meltham Mills

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Meltham Mills, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Meltham Mills

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Common questions in Meltham Mills

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meltham Mills

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Meltham Mills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
