Trusted non-slip bath coating in New Gate

Non-slip bath coating in New Gate without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for New Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

New Gate: your questions answered

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in New Gate?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I clean it?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in New Gate

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in New Gate

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to New Gate. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
