Need non-slip bath coating in Axbridge?

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Axbridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Axbridge

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

FAQs for Axbridge

Is there any odour?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are there extra charges for Axbridge?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Repair or replace in Axbridge?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What we are called out for in Axbridge

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
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
