Need non-slip bath coating in Higher Chillington?

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Higher Chillington

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in Higher Chillington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Higher Chillington questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

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

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

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Higher Chillington

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
