Non-slip bath coating for Downderry homes

Non-slip bath coating in Downderry, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Downderry

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Downderry is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Downderry

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Downderry

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Common reasons people in Downderry contact us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Repair or replace in Downderry?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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