About our non-slip bath coating in Eastbourne

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. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we are called out for in Eastbourne

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.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

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

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Eastbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured 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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Eastbourne. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
