Non-slip bath coating for Single Street homes

Non-slip bath coating in Single Street, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Single Street

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What affects the price in Single Street

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Single Street

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Single Street

If you manage property in Single Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Single Street

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Single Street clients choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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