Trusted non-slip bath coating in Melbury Abbas

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Melbury Abbas

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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 won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Melbury Abbas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Melbury Abbas. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Melbury Abbas questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work in Melbury Abbas?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Melbury Abbas for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
