Non-slip bath coating for Sunniside homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sunniside

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Sunniside

Smooth surfaces are 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 treats your existing bath or tray. 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sunniside

Do you work in Sunniside?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sunniside for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
