About our non-slip bath coating in Tunstall

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tunstall and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Tunstall

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions from Tunstall

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SR3 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Tunstall included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you come to Tunstall?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tunstall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

What affects the price in Tunstall

There is no area surcharge for Tunstall. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
