  • Outdoor surfaces

About our non-slip bath coating in Mappowder

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Mappowder

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Mappowder

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Mappowder?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Mappowder?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
