Non-slip bath coating in Lakenheath without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lakenheath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How it 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 morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to Lakenheath. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Lakenheath questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for Lakenheath?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When to call us in Lakenheath

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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