Non-Slip Bath Coating in Isle of Wight

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Isle of Wight

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

What it costs in Isle of Wight

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a price

If you’re in Isle of Wight and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Around Newport

Around Newport, we work in homes near Castle Inn, The Man in the Moon and Seaclose Park. Other local landmarks include Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west), Island Innovation VI Form Campus (under half a mile south-east) and Nine Acres Primary School (within half a mile south). A little further out are Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). The countryside around Newport includes Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Isle of Wight, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Isle of Wight

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Isle of Wight

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
