Trusted non-slip bath coating in Higher Kingcombe

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our non-slip bath coating in Higher Kingcombe

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Higher Kingcombe questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Higher Kingcombe?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Higher Kingcombe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

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

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Higher Kingcombe

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Higher Kingcombe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
