Non-slip bath coating in East Buckland

Non-slip bath coating at your home in East Buckland

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. 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, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in East Buckland

There is no charge for travel to East Buckland. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in East Buckland and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

East Buckland questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for East Buckland?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

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 generally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in East Buckland

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.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
