Non-slip bath coating for North Somercotes homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in North Somercotes

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. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Questions from North Somercotes

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lincolnshire.

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in North Somercotes

  • Acrylic baths

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
