Non-slip bath coating in Queen's Bower

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Queen's Bower and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Queen's Bower

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Queen's Bower: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you charge for travel?

Repair or replace in Queen's Bower?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
