Non-slip bath coating in South Bockhampton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in South Bockhampton

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in South Bockhampton

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around South Bockhampton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Bockhampton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in South Bockhampton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

South Bockhampton questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in South Bockhampton?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in South Bockhampton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
