Non-slip bath coating near Bishopstone

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bishopstone

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Bishopstone questions

Do I have to be there?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you come to Bishopstone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bishopstone and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I clean it?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
