Non-slip bath coating for Oakley homes

Non-slip bath coating in Oakley, done in place

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. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Oakley?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Oakley

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Oakley?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Oakley

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What affects the price in Oakley

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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