Non-slip bath coating in Skinburness without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Skinburness

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you come to Skinburness?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Skinburness. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skinburness

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair cannot fix

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Skinburness, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Skinburness

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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