Non-slip bath coating for Scunthorpe homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Scunthorpe

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Scunthorpe questions

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it messy?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repair or replace in Scunthorpe?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Scunthorpe

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scunthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

What we’re called out for in Scunthorpe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
