Non-slip bath coating for Santon Downham homes

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Non-slip bath coating in Santon Downham without replacing anything

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. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Santon Downham

Do you come to Santon Downham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Santon Downham and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Santon Downham?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I clean it?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Santon Downham

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

What affects the price in Santon Downham

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Santon Downham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.
