Trusted non-slip bath coating in Seatown

Non-slip bath coating in Seatown, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

FAQs for Seatown

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you come to Seatown?

We do. We send a technician to Seatown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 often lifts.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Seatown. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Seatown

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
