Non-slip bath coating for Chalbury Common homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chalbury Common

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Chalbury Common?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Repair or replace in Chalbury Common?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our prices page.

What a repair can’t 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Chalbury Common questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
