Plumpton questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Plumpton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

About our non-slip bath coating in Plumpton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Plumpton as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Plumpton

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Plumpton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Plumpton

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Plumpton customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
