How we handle non-slip bath coating in Farncombe

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Farncombe as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Farncombe?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Farncombe

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.

How do I clean it?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Repair or replace in Farncombe?

The alternatives are 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Farncombe clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. 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. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
