Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stede Quarter

The coating is clear and textured, 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. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Stede Quarter

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Stede Quarter: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

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

Do you cover Stede Quarter?

We do. We send a technician to Stede Quarter for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Stede Quarter customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Stede Quarter. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Stede Quarter?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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