Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating in Old Snydale, done in place

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath 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 combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Old Snydale

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Old Snydale?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
