Trusted non-slip bath coating in Itchen Abbas

Non-slip bath coating in Itchen Abbas, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Itchen Abbas

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What affects the price in Itchen Abbas

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Itchen Abbas?

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

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

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Itchen Abbas use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.
