Non-slip bath coating at your home in Longford

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

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. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Longford

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Read our prices page.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Longford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Longford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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.

Questions from Longford

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Longford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Longford, and we will reply with a fixed price.
