About our non-slip bath coating in Alton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Alton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Alton questions

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can you do it?

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

What we’re called out for in Alton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Alton

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
