Non-slip bath coating at your home in Arksey

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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work 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. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Arksey questions

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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.

Do I have to be there?

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Arksey?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I clean it?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Arksey get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Arksey

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arksey

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arksey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
