Non-slip bath coating in Trelowth

Non-slip bath coating in Trelowth without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Trelowth?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Trelowth

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there any odour?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Are there extra charges for Trelowth?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
