Trusted non-slip bath coating in Crowhurst

Can I fix it myself?

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Non-slip bath coating in Crowhurst, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crowhurst and across East Sussex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Crowhurst

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Crowhurst

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Crowhurst

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:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
