Non-slip bath coating in Chilfrome

FAQs for Chilfrome

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Chilfrome?

We do. Technicians travel to Chilfrome from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Chilfrome

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chilfrome as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Chilfrome

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.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
