Non-slip bath coating near Payhembury

About our non-slip bath coating in Payhembury

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Payhembury

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Common questions in Payhembury

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to Payhembury?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Payhembury. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Payhembury

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
