Non-slip bath coating for Atherington homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Atherington

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Atherington as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Atherington: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Atherington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Atherington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
