Trusted non-slip bath coating in Ulgham

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ulgham

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. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are 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. 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically the cheaper route.

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ulgham?

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Ulgham questions

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?

We work UK-wide, so Ulgham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Ulgham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ulgham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Ulgham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
