Non-slip bath coating for Pennington homes

Non-slip bath coating in Pennington, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Pennington

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Pennington

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Pennington

We do not charge extra for travel to Pennington. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WN7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
