Non-slip bath coating in Burncoose

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Burncoose

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Burncoose. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Burncoose?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Burncoose

Do you come to Burncoose?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Burncoose. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will 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 and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.
