Non-slip bath coating for Boothen homes

Non-slip bath coating in Boothen without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area

What we are called out for in Boothen

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Boothen

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boothen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

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 also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
