Non-slip bath coating at your home in South Charlton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for South Charlton

Are there extra charges for South Charlton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in South Charlton?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NE66 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to South Charlton?

We do. We send a technician to South Charlton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What we’re called out for in South Charlton

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to South Charlton. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Charlton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
