Non-slip bath coating in Oakley

Repairing versus replacing in Oakley

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Oakley

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Oakley

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

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

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Oakley

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

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to care for the finish
