Non-slip bath coating in Sunderland Bridge

What we are called out for in Sunderland Bridge

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sunderland Bridge

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Sunderland Bridge

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Sunderland Bridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Sunderland Bridge

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Sunderland Bridge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Sunderland Bridge and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
