Non-slip bath coating in East Wickham

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in East Wickham

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in East Wickham

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in East Wickham

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Wickham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?
