Non-slip bath coating in Dereham

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Dereham

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Dereham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Dereham

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Dereham questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Across the UK, and that includes Dereham. Prices do not change with location.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote
