Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newland

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Newland?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Newland, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What we’re called out for in Newland

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Newland

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you come to Newland?

We do. Technicians travel to Newland from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Newland, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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.
