Non-slip bath coating in Oakmere

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Oakmere

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Oakmere

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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Oakmere

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Oakmere

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Oakmere: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cheshire West and Chester.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Oakmere?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CW8 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

  • Outdoor surfaces

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

What we work on

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Oakmere. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
