Non-slip bath coating in Bicton

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bicton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Bicton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Bicton

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise 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

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SY3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
