Non-slip bath coating near Pennance

About our non-slip bath coating in Pennance

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 work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Pennance. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Pennance

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Pennance is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Pennance

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
