Questions from Newcastle

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Non-slip bath coating in Newcastle without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally the cheaper route.

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Repair or replace in Newcastle?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Newcastle customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
