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

Choosing a repair company

About our non-slip bath coating in Fordcombe

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Fordcombe

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
