Non-slip bath coating in Barford

Non-slip bath coating in Barford, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Barford

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our prices page.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Barford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Barford

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

Barford: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
