Non-slip bath coating in Arlington

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Arlington

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Arlington

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BN26 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Arlington?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Arlington

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
