Non-slip bath coating near Chesterton

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chesterton

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

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chesterton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Chesterton?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Common questions in Chesterton

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chesterton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chesterton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Chesterton

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
