About our non-slip bath coating in Lower Bockhampton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Lower Bockhampton

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lower Bockhampton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Bockhampton

If you manage property in Lower Bockhampton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Lower Bockhampton

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

Everywhere in the UK, Lower Bockhampton included. There is no extra charge for travel.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
