Non-slip bath coating for Dial Post homes

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Non-slip bath coating in Dial Post without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Dial Post

How quickly can you book me in?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Dial Post?

We do. We send a technician to Dial Post for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

When to call us in Dial Post

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Dial Post?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t 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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
