Non-slip bath coating for Ubbeston homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Ubbeston

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Ubbeston: your questions answered

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ubbeston

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

If you manage property in Ubbeston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
