Trusted non-slip bath coating in Southerness

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Southerness

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We would 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Southerness

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

Clients generally contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

What information do you need?

Is it messy?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Landlord and trade work in Southerness

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southerness use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Southerness?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
