Non-slip bath coating at your home in Rackheath

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Rackheath

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common problems we fix in Rackheath

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rackheath

If you manage property in Rackheath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Rackheath

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Rackheath and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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