About our non-slip bath coating in Shouldham

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shouldham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Shouldham

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Shouldham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Shouldham

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
