How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ford

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Ford

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Ford: your questions answered

Do you come to Ford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ford and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Buckinghamshire.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
