Non-slip bath coating for Preston homes

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Preston, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Non-slip bath coating in Preston without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Preston

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Preston customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Preston

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Preston

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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