Non-slip bath coating in Murton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Murton

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Murton as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Murton

There is no charge for travel to Murton. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Murton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you come to Murton?

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
