Non-slip bath coating at your home in Nethertown

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

Nethertown: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Nethertown?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Nethertown?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Nethertown clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

  • How easy the damage is to reach
