Non-slip bath coating in North Stoke

Non-slip bath coating in North Stoke, done in place

It’s popular with 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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for North Stoke

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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 a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, North Stoke included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in North Stoke

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to North Stoke. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

When to call us in North Stoke

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
