Non-slip bath coating in Piddinghoe

Non-slip bath coating in Piddinghoe, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Piddinghoe and across East Sussex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Piddinghoe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Piddinghoe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we are called out for in Piddinghoe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Clients generally contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a 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. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
