Non-slip bath coating in Rushton, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rushton and across Northamptonshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Rushton

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take 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. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NN14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Rushton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Rushton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Rushton?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
