Non-slip bath coating for Stratford St Andrew homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stratford St Andrew

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Stratford St Andrew

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Repair or replace in Stratford St Andrew?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
