Questions from Rufforth

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Non-slip bath coating in Rufforth without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rufforth and across York. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we can’t put right

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Rufforth

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.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rufforth, and we will reply with a fixed price.
