Trusted non-slip bath coating in Soundwell

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Soundwell

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Soundwell

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Soundwell

Do you come to Soundwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Soundwell. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Soundwell. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Soundwell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
