Non-slip bath coating in Upper Hoyland without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upper Hoyland and across Barnsley. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Upper Hoyland

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Upper Hoyland?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
