Non-slip bath coating in Myerscough Smithy

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Myerscough Smithy. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Non-slip bath coating in Myerscough Smithy without replacing anything

It’s popular with 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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Myerscough Smithy

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions from Myerscough Smithy

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover the whole of Blackburn with Darwen?

We cover the whole UK, including Myerscough Smithy and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What affects the price in Myerscough Smithy

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
