Non-slip bath coating in Kenton

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Non-slip bath coating in Kenton without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kenton and across Devon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Common problems we fix in Kenton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What affects the price in Kenton

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
