Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chideock

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Chideock

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chideock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Chideock

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Landlord and trade work in Chideock

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chideock as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
