Non-slip bath coating for Stockport homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stockport

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

Common questions in Stockport

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will I see the coating?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Stockport

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Stockport

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Stockport

If you manage property in Stockport, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our pricing.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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