Non-slip bath coating for Waren Mill homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Waren Mill

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Waren Mill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Waren Mill

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

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waren Mill

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Waren Mill questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Northumberland.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Waren Mill?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price
