Non-slip bath coating in Millthorpe

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Millthorpe

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Millthorpe

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Millthorpe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Millthorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Millthorpe

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
