Non-slip bath coating in Cofton

About our non-slip bath coating in Cofton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cofton and across Devon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cofton

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cofton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Common questions in Cofton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Cofton?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX6 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover Cofton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cofton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
