Non-slip bath coating in Shobdon, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Shobdon

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Shobdon

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Shobdon

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Shobdon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Shobdon

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shobdon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
