How we handle non-slip bath coating in Somerton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Somerton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Somerton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Somerton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Somerton

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
