Non-slip bath coating in Farnham

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Farnham?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Farnham

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Farnham questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Farnham. Prices do not change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I clean it?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you come to Farnham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Farnham and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farnham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Farnham?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
