About our non-slip bath coating in Chaldon Herring

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Chaldon Herring

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Chaldon Herring?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
