Book non-slip bath coating in Falstone

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our non-slip bath coating in Falstone

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Falstone

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 treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Falstone, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

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 you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Falstone

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Falstone?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
