Non-slip bath coating at your home in North Petherwin

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in North Petherwin

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in North Petherwin

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

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

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in North Petherwin, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in North Petherwin?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
