Non-slip bath coating in The Dunks

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we handle non-slip bath coating in The Dunks

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in The Dunks, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

The Dunks questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you cover The Dunks?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to The Dunks. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in The Dunks?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LL13 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Dunks

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.

For anyone letting property in or around The Dunks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.
