Non-slip bath coating near Southwaite

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Non-slip bath coating in Southwaite without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Southwaite

Do you cover Southwaite?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Southwaite from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we are called out for in Southwaite

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

What affects the price in Southwaite

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
