Non-slip bath coating near Widdrington

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Widdrington

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Repair or replace in Widdrington?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Widdrington

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Widdrington

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work in Widdrington?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Widdrington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
