Non-slip bath coating at your home in Swanton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

  • Outdoor surfaces

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

Repairing versus replacing in Swanton

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Swanton?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swanton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
