Trusted non-slip bath coating in Much Birch

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Much Birch

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Much Birch

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Much Birch

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HR2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Much Birch?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
