Non-slip bath coating in Sacriston

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sacriston

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months in Sacriston and everywhere else. 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Sacriston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
