About our non-slip bath coating in St Stephens by Launceston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in St Stephens by Launceston

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to St Stephens by Launceston. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in St Stephens by Launceston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
