Non-slip bath coating in Warkworth, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Warkworth

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Warkworth

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Warkworth

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common questions in Warkworth

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it messy?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Warkworth?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
