Non-slip bath coating for Vines Cross homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Vines Cross

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. 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 worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Vines Cross. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Vines Cross questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?

We work UK-wide, so Vines Cross is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Vines Cross?

We do. We send a technician to Vines Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Vines Cross

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean 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 put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Vines Cross

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vines Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Vines Cross

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Vines Cross?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
