Trusted non-slip bath coating in Shapwick

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shapwick

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Shapwick and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Shapwick

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shapwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

What we’re called out for in Shapwick

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Shapwick questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Across the UK, so Shapwick is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
