Non-slip bath coating near Black Torrington

Non-slip bath coating in Black Torrington without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

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. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Black Torrington?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Landlord and trade work in Black Torrington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Black Torrington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Black Torrington

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Black Torrington included. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
