Non-slip bath coating in Plympton without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Plympton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Plympton

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you cover Plympton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Plympton and the rest of Plymouth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Plympton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Plympton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
