Non-slip bath coating in Great Welnetham

Non-slip bath coating in Great Welnetham, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Great Welnetham

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

Repairing versus replacing in Great Welnetham

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

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Welnetham

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Great Welnetham

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you work in Great Welnetham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Great Welnetham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for Great Welnetham?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP30 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
