Non-slip bath coating near Loudwater

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Loudwater

It’s popular with 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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Loudwater

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Loudwater

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Loudwater

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Loudwater clients choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Loudwater

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
