Non-slip bath coating in Shotley Bridge

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shotley Bridge

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 regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Shotley Bridge

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Shotley Bridge

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.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Common questions in Shotley Bridge

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Shotley Bridge?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH8 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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