Trusted non-slip bath coating in Ulceby

Non-slip bath coating in Ulceby without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ulceby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Ulceby

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
