How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lower Raydon

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lower Raydon and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Lower Raydon

Are there extra charges for Lower Raydon?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Lower Raydon?

We do. Technicians travel to Lower Raydon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Raydon

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
