About our non-slip bath coating in Trentishoe

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trentishoe

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

Common problems we fix in Trentishoe

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Trentishoe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Trentishoe, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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