Non-slip bath coating at your home in Dodington

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Dodington questions

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Do you cover Dodington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dodington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Dodington

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dodington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Dodington

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
