Non-slip bath coating near Copdock

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Copdock

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Copdock as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Copdock

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Copdock.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Copdock?

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Copdock

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

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

If you manage property in Copdock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
