About our non-slip bath coating in Trowbridge

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Trowbridge

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

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

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Trowbridge?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Trowbridge

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will I see the coating?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
