Book non-slip bath coating in Philham

Repair or replace in Philham?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Philham

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Philham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Philham: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you come to Philham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Philham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Philham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Philham. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Philham, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Philham

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
