Non-slip bath coating in Ashcombe

Ashcombe questions

What do you need from me?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ashcombe

It’s popular with 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 wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Ashcombe

We do not charge extra for travel to Ashcombe. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashcombe

For anyone letting property in or around Ashcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ashcombe

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

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

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ashcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
