Non-slip bath coating near Newtown

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Newtown

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Newtown

There’s no area surcharge for Newtown. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Newtown get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Newtown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown

Instead, you could go for 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Newtown

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Newtown

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Newtown.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

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

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
