Non-slip bath coating for Drimpton homes

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Drimpton. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Drimpton

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drimpton

For anyone letting property in or around Drimpton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Drimpton: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in Drimpton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Drimpton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I clean it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
