Non-slip bath coating near Shelley

Shelley: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Shelley?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shelley

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shelley and across Essex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Shelley

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

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
