Non-slip bath coating near Newby

Non-slip bath coating in Newby, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Newby

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Newby. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we are called out for in Newby

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
