About our non-slip bath coating in Bodden

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Bodden

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Bodden. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Bodden, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Bodden

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Bodden?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Bodden and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Bodden

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bodden use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Bodden?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
