Trusted non-slip bath coating in Shepley

Non-slip bath coating in Shepley, 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 it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Shepley

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kirklees and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shepley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HD8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Shepley

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work in Shepley?

We do. We send a technician to Shepley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

The entire UK, including all of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Shepley?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but 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:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shepley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

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