Non-slip bath coating in Tideswell

About our non-slip bath coating in Tideswell

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tideswell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Tideswell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

When to call us in Tideswell

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:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Repairing versus replacing in Tideswell

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
