Non-slip bath coating near Higher Ince

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Higher Ince

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy 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. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Questions from Higher Ince

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Higher Ince

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Higher Ince?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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