Need non-slip bath coating in Oldfurnace?

Non-slip bath coating in Oldfurnace, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Oldfurnace

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

Repairing versus replacing in Oldfurnace

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

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK

Common questions in Oldfurnace

Do you come to Oldfurnace?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Oldfurnace. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
