Non-slip bath coating for Carnwadric homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Carnwadric

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repair or replace in Carnwadric?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Carnwadric. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Carnwadric

How do I clean it?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we’re called out for in Carnwadric

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Carnwadric

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
