Non-slip bath coating for Chellaston homes

Non-slip bath coating in Chellaston, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chellaston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Chellaston

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Chellaston

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Chellaston

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Chellaston?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Chellaston?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Chellaston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
