Need non-slip bath coating in Fishbourne?

Non-slip bath coating in Fishbourne, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, 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. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Fishbourne: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

The entire UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

What affects the price in Fishbourne

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Fishbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in Fishbourne

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
