Non-slip bath coating for Winlaton homes

When to call us in Winlaton

Smooth surfaces are 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 photo if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Winlaton

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. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Winlaton and across Gateshead. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Winlaton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Winlaton.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

If you are in Winlaton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Winlaton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Winlaton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Winlaton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
