Repair or replace in Bembridge?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bembridge

It’s popular with 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 regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Bembridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

We would 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bembridge

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

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Bembridge

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Bembridge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Bembridge

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you come to Bembridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bembridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
