Non-slip bath coating in Charlestown

Non-slip bath coating in Charlestown, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlestown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Charlestown. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Most clients in Charlestown get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Charlestown

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Charlestown clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos

When to call us in Charlestown

Smooth surfaces are 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:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair
