Non-slip bath coating near Woodhouse Mill

Non-slip bath coating in Woodhouse Mill without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhouse Mill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Woodhouse Mill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Woodhouse Mill

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Woodhouse Mill?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I clean it?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the entire of Sheffield?

Across the UK, so Woodhouse Mill is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Woodhouse Mill?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
