Non-slip bath coating at your home in Townshend

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

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

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Townshend

We don’t charge extra for travel to Townshend. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Townshend get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Townshend

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Townshend customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Townshend

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When to call us in Townshend

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
