Non-slip bath coating near Creech St Michael

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Non-slip bath coating in Creech St Michael, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Creech St Michael

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Creech St Michael

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Creech St Michael as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Creech St Michael, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Creech St Michael. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Creech St Michael

Will it make a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
