Non-slip bath coating in Willington Quay

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Willington Quay

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Willington Quay and everywhere else. 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.

How the visit 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. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Willington Quay questions

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Willington Quay?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
