Non-slip bath coating for Swalcliffe homes

Non-slip bath coating in Swalcliffe without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. 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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Swalcliffe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Swalcliffe. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Swalcliffe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Swalcliffe: your questions answered

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

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your OX15 postcode.

Do you cover Swalcliffe?

We do. We send a technician to Swalcliffe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
