Non-slip bath coating for Albury homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Albury

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Albury

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Albury

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Albury

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SG11 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Repair or replace in Albury?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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

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