Non-slip bath coating at your home in Norton Lees

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton Lees

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Norton Lees?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When to call us in Norton Lees

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no charge for travel to Norton Lees. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Norton Lees. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip 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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting 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 you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
