About our non-slip bath coating in Plymstock

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. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Plymstock and across Plymouth. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Plymstock

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Repairing versus replacing in Plymstock

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Questions from Plymstock

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Plymstock included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you come to Plymstock?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Plymstock. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Plymstock

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Plymouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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