Trusted non-slip bath coating in Sherburn

Sherburn: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Sherburn?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sherburn and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens next?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Non-slip bath coating in Sherburn without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sherburn and across County Durham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip 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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
