How we handle non-slip bath coating in Exwick

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Exwick

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Exwick?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Exwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Exwick?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Exwick

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Exwick

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Exwick

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
