About our non-slip bath coating in Babbington

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Babbington

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Babbington?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

What affects the price in Babbington

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Babbington

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Customers normally contact us about:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Babbington

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 will get a fixed figure.
