Non-slip bath coating in Kemptown

What we cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kemptown

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Kemptown

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Kemptown

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

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Kemptown

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Brighton and Hove?

Across the UK, so Kemptown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Kemptown?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Kemptown

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
