Trusted non-slip bath coating in Davistown

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Davistown

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Davistown

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Davistown questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Davistown

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Davistown, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
