Non-slip bath coating for Whitworth homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Whitworth

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rochdale. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whitworth

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

Common reasons people in Whitworth contact us include:

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

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitworth

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Whitworth

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs 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 you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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 quote without visiting.
