About our non-slip bath coating in Childer Thornton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Childer Thornton?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Childer Thornton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Childer Thornton clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we are called out for in Childer Thornton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Childer Thornton

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Childer Thornton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
