Non-slip bath coating near Far Thrupp

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Far Thrupp

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Far Thrupp

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you come to Far Thrupp?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Far Thrupp. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Far Thrupp?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GL5 postcode.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Far Thrupp

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Far Thrupp

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

How to compare quotes

How it works

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

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Far Thrupp

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Far Thrupp use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Far Thrupp

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
