Non-slip bath coating for Langford homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Langford

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Langford

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Langford

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Most customers in Langford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Questions from Langford

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CM9 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What do you need from me?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repairing versus replacing in Langford

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
