About our non-slip bath coating in Melksham

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melksham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Melksham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list.

What affects the price in Melksham

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Melksham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Melksham

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Melksham

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Melksham?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SN12 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
