Trusted non-slip bath coating in Alphamstone

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Alphamstone

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Alphamstone. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take 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. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Alphamstone

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Landlord and trade work in Alphamstone

Rental properties take more wear, 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 Alphamstone use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Alphamstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
