Non-slip bath coating at your home in Instow

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Instow

Do you come to Instow?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Instow and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX39 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Instow. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Instow

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Instow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Instow

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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