About our non-slip bath coating in Charlestown

It’s popular with 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’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Charlestown. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we are called out for in Charlestown

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Charlestown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlestown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT4 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.
