Non-slip bath coating for Childrey homes

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Childrey

  • Enamelled baths

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Childrey

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Childrey?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Childrey: your questions answered

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Childrey is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
