Non-slip bath coating for Knodishall homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Knodishall

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Knodishall and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Knodishall?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Knodishall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Get a quote

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Knodishall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Knodishall

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
