Non-slip bath coating for Silverton homes

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Silverton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silverton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Non-slip bath coating in Silverton, 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 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 worn-out textured areas, in enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Silverton: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Silverton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Silverton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
