Non-slip bath coating in Newmarket

Non-slip bath coating in Newmarket 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. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Newmarket

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newmarket. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Newmarket: your questions answered

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Newmarket?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Newmarket?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
