Non-slip bath coating for Silkstone Common homes

Non-slip bath coating in Silkstone Common without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Barnsley. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Silkstone Common

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Silkstone Common?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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.

What affects the price in Silkstone Common

We don’t charge extra for travel to Silkstone Common. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
