Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whittington

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Whittington

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. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Whittington. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whittington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Whittington questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Whittington?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

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 price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
