Non-slip bath coating in Barming Heath

Non-slip bath coating in Barming Heath, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every repair is covered by our 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

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean 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
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Barming Heath: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Barming Heath

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

  • When it can be used again
