Need non-slip bath coating in Shaw Mills?

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shaw Mills

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. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Shaw Mills. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shaw Mills. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Shaw Mills

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Shaw Mills contact us include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

Questions from Shaw Mills

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shaw Mills

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shaw Mills use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
