Non-slip bath coating in Scropton

Landlord and trade work in Scropton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Non-slip bath coating in Scropton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Scropton and across Derbyshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Scropton questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Scropton

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Scropton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Scropton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
