Trusted non-slip bath coating in Somerford

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Somerford customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Somerford

It suits 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. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll 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 happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Somerford

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Somerford, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
