Non-slip bath coating in Staplow

Non-slip bath coating in Staplow, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Staplow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Staplow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Staplow

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Questions from Staplow

Are there extra charges for Staplow?

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

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Staplow included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Staplow customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
