Need non-slip bath coating in Mitchell?

Non-slip bath coating in Mitchell without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Mitchell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Mitchell?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
We mask out the area to be treated.
We apply the clear textured coating.
We lift the masking for a clean edge.
Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Advice

How to make a slippery bath safer

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

How many areas need work
What the surface is made of
Doing more than one item at once
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

One sharp close-up of the damage
Any details about the material
Something in shot to show the size
Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
