Non-slip bath coating for Kilkenny homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

About our non-slip bath coating in Kilkenny

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Kilkenny

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Kilkenny and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kilkenny.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Kilkenny?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Kilkenny?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BA4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
