Trusted non-slip bath coating in Tarpots

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Non-slip bath coating in Tarpots without replacing anything

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 worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Tarpots

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

When a repair isn’t 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

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

Materials we work on in Tarpots

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

When to call us in Tarpots

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:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
