About our non-slip bath coating in Sunderland

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Sunderland

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Sunderland?

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Sunderland

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
