Non-slip bath coating for Sandling homes

Sandling questions

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Non-slip bath coating in Sandling, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Sandling

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Sandling

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to Sandling. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

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

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
