Non-slip bath coating for Netherton homes

Repair or replace in Netherton?

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business

Non-slip bath coating in Netherton without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Netherton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wakefield.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Are there extra charges for Netherton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Netherton?

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Netherton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Netherton. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
