Non-slip bath coating in New Lambton

How we handle non-slip bath coating in New Lambton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.
