Non-slip bath coating in North End

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating in North End, done in place

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. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

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.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for North End

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes North End. Prices do not change with location.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Repairing versus replacing in North End

The alternatives are 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around North End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SP7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
