Trusted non-slip bath coating in Otley

Non-slip bath coating in Otley, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Otley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Otley

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions from Otley

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you work in Otley?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP6 postcode.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
