What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Wheelton. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Wheelton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Wheelton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Wheelton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Wheelton?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wheelton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Wheelton

Do you come to Wheelton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wheelton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
