Non-slip bath coating for Swalecliffe homes

Non-slip bath coating in Swalecliffe without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Swalecliffe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Swalecliffe

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. 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. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Take a look at our prices page.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

Swalecliffe questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Swalecliffe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Swalecliffe and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

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.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Swalecliffe. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
