Need non-slip bath coating in Rafford?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Non-slip bath coating in Rafford without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Questions from Rafford

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover the entire of Moray?

We cover the whole UK, including Rafford and the rest of Moray. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Landlord and trade work in Rafford

If you manage property in Rafford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Rafford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
