Non-slip bath coating at your home in Buckland Monachorum

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Buckland Monachorum

For anyone letting property in or around Buckland Monachorum, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Buckland Monachorum. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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