Non-slip bath coating near Vaynor

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Vaynor

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Vaynor: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

What we’re called out for in Vaynor

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Vaynor

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vaynor as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not 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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Vaynor. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
