Need non-slip bath coating in Newsome?

Landlord and trade work in Newsome

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newsome as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

About our non-slip bath coating in Newsome

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

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

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newsome. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Questions from Newsome

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Common problems we fix in Newsome

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

Look out for these signs:

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

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
