Trusted non-slip bath coating in Scarborough

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Scarborough

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Scarborough

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 get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Scarborough

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 adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Scarborough

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
