Non-slip bath coating near Rackham

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Rackham

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

You’re 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. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rackham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Rackham

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, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Rackham questions

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

Across the UK, and that includes Rackham. Prices do not change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Rackham?

We do. We send a technician to Rackham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
