About our non-slip bath coating in Thornaby-on-Tees

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Thornaby-on-Tees

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will I see the coating?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Thornaby-on-Tees?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Thornaby-on-Tees

There’s no area surcharge for Thornaby-on-Tees. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Thornaby-on-Tees customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
