Need non-slip bath coating in Barkham?

Non-slip bath coating in Barkham without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Common questions in Barkham

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

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Landlord and trade work in Barkham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Barkham?

Instead, you could go for 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG40 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
