Non-slip bath coating in Long Line

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Long Line

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Long Line: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Long Line?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

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 booking.

Choosing a repair company

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 typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

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.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Long Line

The alternatives are 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
