Non-slip bath coating near Landkey

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Landkey

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

For a rural address like Landkey, we plan the journey and the visit in advance. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we will take care of the rest.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. For a rural address like Landkey, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the non-slip bath coating comes with us in one trip.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Landkey

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Landkey

Do you cover villages like Landkey?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you restore the original baths and shower trays in an older house in Landkey?

Normally, yes. Older baths and shower trays are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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. For a rural home like those around Landkey, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while non-slip bath coating is one trip.

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our Prices page.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Landkey. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, 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.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Landkey?

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
