Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Stoke End

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Non-slip bath coating in Stoke End without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Stoke End

The alternatives are 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Stoke End

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you cover Stoke End?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stoke End. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Stoke End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
