About our non-slip bath coating in Scackleton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Scackleton as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

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

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scackleton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Scackleton

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Common problems we fix in Scackleton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
