About our non-slip bath coating in Skirlaugh

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Skirlaugh

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Skirlaugh included. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Skirlaugh

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Our hiring checklist

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Skirlaugh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Most customers in Skirlaugh get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Skirlaugh. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
