Our non-slip bath coating service in West Sussex

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. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Landmarks near Crawley

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park, among other places. You will also find The George Hotel (less than half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-east). There is a railway station in Crawley itself: Crawley station.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What we are called out for in West Sussex

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to West Sussex. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from West Sussex

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
