  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Checkley

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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 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 Checkley customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Checkley questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Checkley?

We do. We send a technician to Checkley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

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

Will there be a smell?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Checkley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
