About our non-slip bath coating in Pickering Nook

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pickering Nook and across Gateshead. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pickering Nook. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Pickering Nook. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Questions from Pickering Nook

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pickering Nook.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Pickering Nook

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Pickering Nook?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
