Non-slip bath coating for St Mellons homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in St Mellons

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in St Mellons

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in St Mellons

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Mellons

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in St Mellons?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
