Non-slip bath coating in Wilmorton

Non-slip bath coating in Wilmorton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, 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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Wilmorton

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilmorton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Wilmorton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Common questions in Wilmorton

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derby, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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