Non-slip bath coating for Reddish Vale homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Reddish Vale

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled baths

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Reddish Vale questions

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Reddish Vale and the rest of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Repairing versus replacing in Reddish Vale

Instead, you could go for 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reddish Vale

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reddish Vale use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Reddish Vale

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Reddish Vale. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
