Non-slip bath coating in Compton

Non-slip bath coating in Compton without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Compton questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are there extra charges for Compton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Repairing versus replacing in Compton

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

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

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
