Non-slip bath coating for Cove homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Cove

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Cove questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Cove

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet 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 any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Cove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

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. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cove, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Cove?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no charge for travel to Cove. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
