Non-slip bath coating for Capel homes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Non-slip bath coating in Capel, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Capel. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Capel, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Capel

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. 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.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

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 you book.
