Non-slip bath coating near Scholes

Non-slip bath coating in Scholes without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scholes

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

When to call us in Scholes

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Questions from Scholes

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?

The whole UK, including all of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Are there extra charges for Scholes?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. 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. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
