Need non-slip bath coating in Constantine Bay?

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Constantine Bay

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  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
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Repairing versus replacing in Constantine Bay

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
