FAQs for Horsington Marsh

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Horsington Marsh?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA8 postcode.

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 tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Non-slip bath coating in Horsington Marsh, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Horsington Marsh. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Horsington Marsh

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What we are called out for in Horsington Marsh

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
