Non-slip bath coating in Portrush without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Portrush, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Portrush. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Our work in Portrush

Neighbouring places we cover include Portstewart (3 miles south-west), Coleraine (4 miles south), Bushmills (5 miles east), Ballymoney (10 miles south-east) and Ballycastle (15 miles east).

Landlord and trade work in Portrush

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Portrush questions

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

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

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Portrush

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Portrush

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

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
