About our non-slip bath coating in Tai-Bach

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Tai-Bach?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Tai-Bach

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no charge for travel to Tai-Bach. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tai-Bach. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

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 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 booking.
