Non-slip bath coating near Preston-on-Tees

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Preston-on-Tees

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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston-on-Tees

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 will not last.

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

What affects the price in Preston-on-Tees

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

When we’d advise against a repair
