Non-slip bath coating in Loxton

Non-slip bath coating in Loxton without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Loxton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Common questions in Loxton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are there extra charges for Loxton?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally 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 pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Loxton

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Loxton

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Loxton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Loxton clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Honest limits

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Most clients in Loxton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
