Non-slip bath coating at your home in South Barrow

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in South Barrow

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in South Barrow

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for South Barrow. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in South Barrow

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you accredited?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
