Trusted non-slip bath coating in Oakenshaw

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Oakenshaw

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, 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. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Oakenshaw

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Oakenshaw: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

When to call us in Oakenshaw

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Oakenshaw

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

What affects the price in Oakenshaw

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.
