How we handle non-slip bath coating in Chulmleigh

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, in enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Chulmleigh

Questions from Chulmleigh

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX18 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

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

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

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
