Non-slip bath coating in Bodle Street Green without replacing anything

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. Our technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Somewhere as small as Bodle Street Green, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Repairing in place avoids that.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Bodle Street Green?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. In an older home in a village like Bodle Street Green, replacing a bath or shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up. In a village or hamlet like Bodle Street Green, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Bodle Street Green

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

For older houses around Bodle Street Green, near landmarks such as St John the Evangelist, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
