Non-slip bath coating for Cranmore homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Cranmore

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Cranmore?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

  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.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Cranmore

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Cranmore

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you work in Cranmore?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cranmore and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
