Trusted non-slip bath coating in Viables

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Non-slip bath coating in Viables, done in place

It’s popular with 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 safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

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

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Viables

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Viables?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Viables questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.
