Your questions about non-slip bath coating in West Tanfield

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so West Tanfield is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in West Tanfield

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around West Tanfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in West Tanfield?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why West Tanfield clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in West Tanfield

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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