Non-slip bath coating in Netherby

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Non-slip bath coating in Netherby, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Netherby and across Cumbria. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Netherby?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Clients generally contact us about:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

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.

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Netherby

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How do I clean it?

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Netherby

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
