Non-slip bath coating near Dobwalls

Landlord and trade work in Dobwalls

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Dobwalls

The coating is clear and textured, 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. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Dobwalls: your questions answered

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

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I clean it?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Dobwalls?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What affects the price in Dobwalls

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Dobwalls

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
