Non-slip bath coating in Selby

Non-slip bath coating in Selby without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Selby and across North Yorkshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selby

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Selby

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:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Selby questions

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
