Need non-slip bath coating in Challock?

Non-slip bath coating in Challock without replacing anything

It’s popular with 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. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before booking

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Challock

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Challock and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Challock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business

Questions from Challock

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Is it messy?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
