Non-slip bath coating for Forder homes

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Forder?

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Forder

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from Forder

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Forder?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Forder

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

What affects the price in Forder

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Forder. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
