Non-slip bath coating near Ickford

Non-slip bath coating in Ickford, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

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

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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ickford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Ickford

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Ickford

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Ickford?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

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

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ickford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Ickford customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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.
