Non-slip bath coating for Reston homes

Non-slip bath coating in Reston without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Landlord and trade work in Reston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Reston questions

Is the work guaranteed?

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?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to Reston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Reston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When to call us in Reston

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Reston?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
