Trusted non-slip bath coating in Higher Wheelton

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Higher Wheelton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Get a quote

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Higher Wheelton

Do you come to Higher Wheelton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Higher Wheelton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

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

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
