Non-slip bath coating near Dargate

About our non-slip bath coating in Dargate

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. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Dargate. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Dargate

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Dargate. Prices don’t change with location.

Repair or replace in Dargate?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dargate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
