Non-slip bath coating in Stainton without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. 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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Stainton

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Stainton

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stainton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stainton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Stainton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
