About our non-slip bath coating in Badwell Ash

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Badwell Ash

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Common problems we fix in Badwell Ash

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Badwell Ash

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Badwell Ash. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
