Trusted non-slip bath coating in Knayton

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Knayton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Knayton questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

What we are called out for in Knayton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knayton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Knayton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Knayton

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
