About our non-slip bath coating in Boxley

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

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.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Boxley

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Boxley, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Boxley

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Boxley

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Questions from Boxley

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Boxley. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
