Non-slip bath coating in Birchanger without replacing anything

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’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Birchanger

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Birchanger?

We do. We send a technician to Birchanger for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Birchanger

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are 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

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
