Non-slip bath coating in Purbrook Heath

About our non-slip bath coating in Purbrook Heath

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. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Purbrook Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Purbrook Heath

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

We won’t 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

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Purbrook Heath

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
