Non-slip bath coating for Sunderland homes

Non-slip bath coating in Sunderland, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Sunderland

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sunderland

Are there extra charges for Sunderland?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?

The whole UK, including all of Sunderland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sunderland

For anyone letting property in or around Sunderland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 problems we fix in Sunderland

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
