Non-slip bath coating for Somerwood homes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Somerwood

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Somerwood

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerwood

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Somerwood

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
