Non-slip bath coating for Christow homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Christow

It suits 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 repair technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Christow and across Devon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Christow

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Christow use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Christow

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Common questions in Christow

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Christow?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Christow and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Christow?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Christow

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Christow and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
