Non-slip bath coating near Swallownest

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Swallownest

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Swallownest. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Swallownest, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths

Questions from Swallownest

How soon can you come?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swallownest, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
