Non-slip bath coating for Knowle homes

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Non-slip bath coating in Knowle without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Knowle questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Knowle included. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Knowle?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Knowle and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knowle

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Knowle

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
