Non-slip bath coating near Kington Magna

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kington Magna

It suits 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 regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How to compare quotes

Kington Magna: your questions answered

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Kington Magna

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
