About our non-slip bath coating in Cheriton Fitzpaine

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Cheriton Fitzpaine

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 quote.

What we are called out for in Cheriton Fitzpaine

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Cheriton Fitzpaine

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cheriton Fitzpaine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover Cheriton Fitzpaine?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cheriton Fitzpaine. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Landlord and trade work in Cheriton Fitzpaine

For anyone letting property in or around Cheriton Fitzpaine, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Should you replace it?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
