Non-slip bath coating near Criddlestyle

About our non-slip bath coating in Criddlestyle

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Criddlestyle, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What affects the price in Criddlestyle

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Criddlestyle

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Criddlestyle?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Criddlestyle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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 hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Criddlestyle. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Criddlestyle

Smooth surfaces are 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:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
