Non-slip bath coating in Thornham Magna

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thornham Magna

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we work on in Thornham Magna

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Thornham Magna and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Thornham Magna

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

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

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Thornham Magna

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work in Thornham Magna?

We do. We send a technician to Thornham Magna for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Thornham Magna?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
