How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Scriven

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Scriven and across North Yorkshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scriven as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we are called out for in Scriven

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Scriven

Will I see the coating?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you come to Scriven?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Scriven from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
