Non-slip bath coating in Theale

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Non-slip bath coating in Theale without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Theale

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Clients generally contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Theale

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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 Theale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Theale: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Theale.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Theale. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
