Non-slip bath coating for Cheylesmore homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our non-slip bath coating in Cheylesmore

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Cheylesmore

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

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CV3 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What affects the price in Cheylesmore

There is no area surcharge for Cheylesmore. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Cheylesmore get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Cheylesmore

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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