Non-slip bath coating for Knighton homes

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Knighton

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Knighton questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the whole of Bournemouth?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Knighton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Knighton.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bournemouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Knighton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

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 often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
