Non-slip bath coating in Seaton

Non-slip bath coating in Seaton, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Seaton: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover Seaton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Seaton and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Seaton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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.

What we’re called out for in Seaton

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

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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.

Materials we work on in Seaton

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

What affects the price in Seaton

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
