Non-slip bath coating in Cole Hill

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cole Hill

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Cole Hill. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Cole Hill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Cole Hill

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you cover Cole Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cole Hill and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace in Cole Hill?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cole Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
