Non-slip bath coating for Fishwick homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Fishwick

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Fishwick

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Fishwick?

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.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Common questions in Fishwick

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fishwick

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Fishwick

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
