Trusted non-slip bath coating in Ailsworth

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ailsworth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

About our non-slip bath coating in Ailsworth

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ailsworth

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work in Ailsworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ailsworth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Peterborough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ailsworth?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ailsworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Ailsworth. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Ailsworth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Ailsworth

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
