Non-slip bath coating for Newton homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Newton

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I clean it?

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

Do you work in Newton?

We do. Technicians travel to Newton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA6 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Newton?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When to call us in Newton

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

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

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Newton. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
