Non-slip bath coating near East Hendred

How we handle non-slip bath coating in East Hendred

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in East Hendred?

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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