Trusted non-slip bath coating in Kaimhill

Non-slip bath coating in Kaimhill without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Kaimhill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kaimhill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Kaimhill: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise 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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
