Non-slip bath coating near Stone

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stone

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stone and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Outdoor surfaces

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

  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Stone: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Landlord and trade work in Stone

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Stone

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
