Non-slip bath coating in Skelton without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skelton and across Cumbria. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

The material and finish
Doing more than one item at once
How easy the damage is to reach
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

What it’s made of, if you know
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About non-slip bath & shower coating

Skelton: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Skelton?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

We cover the whole UK, including Skelton and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

How it works

We turn 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. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
The area to be treated is masked out.
The clear textured coating is applied.
The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

Make sure the room can be ventilated
Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add 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.
