Non-slip bath coating in Eastmoor

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Non-slip bath coating in Eastmoor, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Eastmoor

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Eastmoor

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
