Non-slip bath coating for Cheriton homes

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

About our non-slip bath coating in Cheriton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Cheriton

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.

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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 do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to compare quotes

Questions from Cheriton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Cheriton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
