Non-slip bath coating for Scotswood homes

Non-slip bath coating in Scotswood without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Scotswood and across Newcastle upon Tyne. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we are called out for in Scotswood

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Scotswood?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Scotswood

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scotswood

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Scotswood

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
