Non-slip bath coating in Faygate

About our non-slip bath coating in Faygate

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Older homes around Faygate may have baths that have been in place for decades. A sound older bath is well worth repairing.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Faygate questions

Is it worth repairing old baths and shower trays in a period home in Faygate?

Often, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.

Will you travel to Faygate?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

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

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Repairing versus replacing in Faygate

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. In an older home in a village like Faygate, replacing a bath or shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Faygate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up. In a village or hamlet like Faygate, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Faygate

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Francis' Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
