Trusted non-slip bath coating in Shepton Mallet

Non-slip bath coating in Shepton Mallet, done in place

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. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Shepton Mallet?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Shepton Mallet

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Shepton Mallet

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shepton Mallet as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Shepton Mallet

We charge the same across the UK, including Shepton Mallet. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shepton Mallet, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Shepton Mallet: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
