Non-slip bath coating for Simonburn homes

Repair or replace in Simonburn?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Simonburn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Simonburn

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Non-slip bath coating in Simonburn, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Simonburn, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
