Non-slip bath coating near Bildeston

About our non-slip bath coating in Bildeston

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. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bildeston as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Bildeston

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bildeston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Bildeston

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
