Non-slip bath coating near Locksgreen

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Locksgreen

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Locksgreen

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Locksgreen

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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:

  • 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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Locksgreen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Locksgreen clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Common questions in Locksgreen

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Locksgreen?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
