Trusted non-slip bath coating in Bishopswood

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Non-slip bath coating in Bishopswood, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

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

What affects the price in Bishopswood

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

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bishopswood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bishopswood

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Bishopswood contact us are:

  • 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 to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Bishopswood

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishopswood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bishopswood
