Non-slip bath coating for Ovingdean homes

What affects the price in Ovingdean

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

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

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our non-slip bath coating in Ovingdean

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ovingdean

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Brighton and Hove?

All of Brighton and Hove, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Ovingdean

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ovingdean, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
