How we handle non-slip bath coating in Oakenshaw

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Oakenshaw

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Oakenshaw?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Oakenshaw

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you work in Oakenshaw?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Oakenshaw and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakenshaw

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Oakenshaw?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
