Non-slip bath coating near Hittisleigh

Non-slip bath coating in Hittisleigh, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Hittisleigh

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures 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.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Hittisleigh

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Do you charge for travel?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
