Non-slip bath coating near Melplash

About our non-slip bath coating in Melplash

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Melplash, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we work on in Melplash

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

Melplash questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Melplash and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Melplash?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repairing versus replacing in Melplash

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Melplash

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
