Need non-slip bath coating in Chittlehamholt?

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 before you book.

  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Chittlehamholt

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Chittlehamholt. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Chittlehamholt

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Chittlehamholt

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price
