Non-slip bath coating near Iffley

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Iffley

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. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Iffley and across Oxfordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Iffley

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

Look out for these signs:

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

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no area surcharge for Iffley. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Iffley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Iffley: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
