Non-slip bath coating for Shotover Hill homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shotover Hill

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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Shotover Hill

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Shotover Hill questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Shotover Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Shotover Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shotover Hill
