Non-slip bath coating for Kendon homes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Kendon, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Caerphilly. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Kendon

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kendon.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NP11 postcode.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Kendon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kendon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
