Non-slip bath coating near Thursby

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Thursby

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Thursby and everywhere else. 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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Thursby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will 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.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Thursby

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Thursby?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price
