Non-slip bath coating near West Boldon

About our non-slip bath coating in West Boldon

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Boldon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around West Boldon, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in West Boldon

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in West Boldon?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price
