Non-slip bath coating in Radley Green

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Radley Green

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. 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 Radley Green

Do you come to Radley Green?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Radley Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Radley Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material

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

Landlord and trade work in Radley Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Radley Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Radley Green

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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