About our non-slip bath coating in Barton

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, 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 come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barton

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Common problems we fix in Barton

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

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

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Barton

We charge the same across the UK, including Barton. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Barton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you come to Barton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Barton and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
