Non-slip bath coating for Sandown homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sandown

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Read our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Sandown

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What affects the price in Sandown

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sandown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sandown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Sandown

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Sandown?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
