Book non-slip bath coating in Windlehurst

The process

When we visit, 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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Non-slip bath coating in Windlehurst without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Windlehurst

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Windlehurst

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Windlehurst

We do not charge extra for travel to Windlehurst. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
