Non-slip bath coating in Charlton Heath

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Charlton Heath

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Charlton Heath

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Charlton Heath questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlton Heath

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
