Trusted non-slip bath coating in Lydbrook

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lydbrook

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Lydbrook

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

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
