Non-slip bath coating in West Blackdene

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Advice

Non-slip bath coating at your home in West Blackdene

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in West Blackdene

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • 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

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Blackdene, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
