About our non-slip bath coating in Penpont

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Penpont?

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:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Penpont

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Penpont

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Penpont, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Penpont

Instead, you could go for 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 your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Penpont

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

How the visit 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 start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Penpont, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
