Trusted non-slip bath coating in Sticklepath

Non-slip bath coating in Sticklepath, 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. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain 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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Advice

FAQs for Sticklepath

Do you work in Sticklepath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sticklepath and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Sticklepath included. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Sticklepath?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sticklepath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Sticklepath

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
