How we handle non-slip bath coating in Somerby

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Somerby

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Questions from Somerby

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Somerby is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerby

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Somerby. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Somerby get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
