Non-slip bath coating near Copthorne

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

About our non-slip bath coating in Copthorne

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Copthorne and across West Sussex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Copthorne

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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.

What affects the price in Copthorne

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Copthorne

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

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are there extra charges for Copthorne?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Copthorne?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Copthorne. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
