Non-slip bath coating for Northborough homes

Non-slip bath coating in Northborough without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Northborough: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, 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

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Northborough?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Northborough

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers generally mention when they call 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
