Non-slip bath coating near Ningwood

Non-slip bath coating in Ningwood without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ningwood?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Ningwood questions

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover Ningwood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ningwood. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ningwood

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ningwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
