Non-slip bath coating in Sawmills

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

About our non-slip bath coating in Sawmills

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sawmills and across Derbyshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Sawmills

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Sawmills contact us include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

Read our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

FAQs for Sawmills

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you cover Sawmills?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sawmills and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
