Non-slip bath coating in Chatter Alley

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chatter Alley

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What affects the price in Chatter Alley

We do not charge extra for travel to Chatter Alley. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BA12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Chatter Alley: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Chatter Alley?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BA12 postcode.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Chatter Alley?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

  • Outdoor surfaces

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