Non-slip bath coating in Creeksea

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere as small as Creeksea, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the non-slip bath coating works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Non-slip bath coating in Creeksea, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

In a village like Creeksea, some baths have been in for many years. A sound older bath is well worth repairing.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Creeksea

There’s no charge for travel to Creeksea. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Creeksea

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 treats your existing bath or tray. Older homes around Creeksea may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Questions from Creeksea

Can you restore the original baths and shower trays in an older house in Creeksea?

Normally, yes. Older baths and shower trays are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Do you cover villages like Creeksea?

We do: small places like Creeksea are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Creeksea?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

In the older streets of Creeksea, around landmarks like Church of All Saints, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and non-slip bath coating gives it years more use.

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
