About our non-slip bath coating in Romaldkirk

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What affects the price in Romaldkirk

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Romaldkirk. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Romaldkirk

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Are there extra charges for Romaldkirk?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Romaldkirk

For anyone letting property in or around Romaldkirk, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Romaldkirk

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

Repairing versus replacing in Romaldkirk

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
