Non-slip bath coating for West Pelton homes

Non-slip bath coating in West Pelton without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Pelton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in West Pelton

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in West Pelton

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for West Pelton

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you work in West Pelton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to West Pelton and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
