Trusted non-slip bath coating in Newton

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Non-slip bath coating in Newton without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Newton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Newton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Newton

The whole UK, including all of Wirral. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get 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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
