Non-slip bath coating for Spittal homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Spittal

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Spittal

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Repair or replace in Spittal?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our pricing.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Spittal, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
