Non-slip bath coating in Netherthorpe

Non-slip bath coating in Netherthorpe, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Our hiring checklist

Netherthorpe: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Netherthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover Netherthorpe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Netherthorpe and the rest of Sheffield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Netherthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sheffield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
