Non-slip bath coating in Bishopston

About our non-slip bath coating in Bishopston

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Bishopston

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

Common problems we fix in Bishopston

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

FAQs for Bishopston

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I clean it?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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 price the job without visiting.

What affects the price in Bishopston

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Bishopston?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bishopston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
