Non-slip bath coating in Chestnut Street

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Chestnut Street

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Chestnut Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for 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.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Chestnut Street questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Chestnut Street

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
