Choosing a repair company

How we handle non-slip bath coating in South Kirkby

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

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.

South Kirkby questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Kirkby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wakefield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in South Kirkby

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
