How we handle non-slip bath coating in Southmarsh

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Southmarsh, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Southmarsh?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add 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.

Questions from Southmarsh

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Southmarsh?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will I see the coating?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.
