Non-slip bath coating near Smithstone

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Smithstone

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. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Smithstone

We do not charge extra for travel to Smithstone. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Smithstone, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Smithstone

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Smithstone?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Smithstone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smithstone

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
