Non-slip bath coating near Ben Rhydding

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ben Rhydding

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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 work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 work on in Ben Rhydding

Landlord and trade work in Ben Rhydding

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Ben Rhydding. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Ben Rhydding

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Ben Rhydding?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

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

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

Do you come to Ben Rhydding?

We do. Technicians travel to Ben Rhydding from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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