Non-slip bath coating for Tilty homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tilty

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tilty as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Tilty

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Tilty

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tilty use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Tilty?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
