About our non-slip bath coating in Wheldrake

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Wheldrake

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wheldrake. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Wheldrake

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Wheldrake and the rest of York. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Wheldrake?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.
