Non-slip bath coating in New Luce, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in New Luce and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in New Luce

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What affects the price in New Luce

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in New Luce?

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 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in New Luce

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in New Luce?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
