Non-slip bath coating in Tindale Crescent

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Non-slip bath coating in Tindale Crescent, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tindale Crescent and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Tindale Crescent: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you come to Tindale Crescent?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tindale Crescent and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Tindale Crescent. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

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

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tindale Crescent

If you manage property in Tindale Crescent, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Tindale Crescent

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
