Non-slip bath coating near Wadhurst

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Wadhurst

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Wadhurst: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Wadhurst?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wadhurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will I see the coating?

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common problems we fix in Wadhurst

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wadhurst. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
