Questions from Little Washbourne

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Little Washbourne

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Take a look at our prices page.

What we cannot put right

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

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Little Washbourne

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Little Washbourne

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
