Non-slip bath coating near Exminster

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Exminster

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Exminster questions

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Exminster?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Exminster

If you manage property in Exminster, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace in Exminster?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Exminster?

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.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Exminster. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
