Trusted non-slip bath coating in Boscombe

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Boscombe

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Boscombe. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Boscombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Boscombe, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Boscombe

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When to call us in Boscombe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

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

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boscombe

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
