Non-slip bath coating for Tongwell homes

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Non-slip bath coating in Tongwell without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Tongwell

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tongwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Tongwell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Tongwell

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tongwell

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
