Non-slip bath coating near Waterside

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Waterside

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Waterside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Waterside

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Waterside

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
