Need non-slip bath coating in Mitford?

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Mitford

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Mitford questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Mitford

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

How the visit works

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 morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Mitford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Mitford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Mitford

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Mitford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
