Non-slip bath coating in Effingham

Non-slip bath coating in Effingham without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Effingham

Will there be a smell?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Surrey. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Effingham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Effingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

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

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Effingham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Effingham

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Effingham

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
