Non-slip bath coating in Whitley

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Whitley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

About our non-slip bath coating in Whitley

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Whitley: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whitley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Whitley

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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

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