How we handle non-slip bath coating in Buttsole

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Buttsole

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Buttsole. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Buttsole clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our full price list.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Buttsole questions

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I clean it?

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

Do you cover Buttsole?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Buttsole and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Buttsole

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buttsole

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

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.
