Non-slip bath coating in Ropley Dean without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ropley Dean

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

FAQs for Ropley Dean

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • 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, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ropley Dean, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ropley Dean. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ropley Dean

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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