Non-slip bath coating near Chardstock

Non-slip bath coating in Chardstock, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Chardstock

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

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

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

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

Are there extra charges for Chardstock?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Chardstock?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX13 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Chardstock

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
