Non-slip bath coating in Spittal

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spittal as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Non-slip bath coating in Spittal, done in place

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 worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Spittal questions

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you work in Spittal?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Spittal from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

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

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

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

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Spittal

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Spittal and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
