Non-slip bath coating near Tremadog

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Tremadog

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tremadog. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for Tremadog

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are there extra charges for Tremadog?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you come to Tremadog?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tremadog for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Tremadog

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Tremadog contact us include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tremadog as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
