Non-slip bath coating for Bowbridge homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bowbridge

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Bowbridge?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not 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.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

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

Bowbridge: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bowbridge.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
