Non-slip bath coating near Paddock

When to call us in Paddock

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

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating in Paddock without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

FAQs for Paddock

Do you cover Paddock?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Paddock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Paddock

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Paddock. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Paddock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Paddock

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Paddock?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
