How we handle non-slip bath coating in Stanhope

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. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Stanhope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Stanhope

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Stanhope

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Stanhope

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

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

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • 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

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
