Non-slip bath coating in Chilworth

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

About our non-slip bath coating in Chilworth

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Chilworth

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

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Chilworth

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
