Trusted non-slip bath coating in Rye

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rye

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Rye, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

About our non-slip bath coating in Rye

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Rye questions

Are there extra charges for Rye?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I clean it?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Rye. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Rye

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

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, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

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. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
