Need non-slip bath coating in Kesgrave?

Non-slip bath coating in Kesgrave without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Kesgrave

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used 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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
