Need non-slip bath coating in Old Tupton?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

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’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Old Tupton

Common questions in Old Tupton

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work in Old Tupton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Old Tupton and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

When to call us in Old Tupton

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Old Tupton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Tupton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
