Non-slip bath coating in Newbiggin without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Newbiggin

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Are there extra charges for Newbiggin?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Common problems we fix in Newbiggin

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Newbiggin contact us are:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Newbiggin

There’s no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Newbiggin

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
