Need non-slip bath coating in Marldon?

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Marldon

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Marldon

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Marldon

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

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover Marldon?

We do. We send a technician to Marldon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

The whole UK, including all of Torbay. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Marldon. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
