Non-slip bath coating at your home in Plaitford

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

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

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Plaitford

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Plaitford?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, 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. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Plaitford questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is it messy?

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
