Non-slip bath coating for Appley homes

Non-slip bath coating in Appley, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Appley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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. 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 tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Appley?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Our hiring checklist

Appley: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Appley

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Appley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
