Non-slip bath coating near Walford

Non-slip bath coating in Walford without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Walford and across Herefordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Walford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

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

Repairing versus replacing in Walford

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Walford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Walford questions

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Walford and the rest of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What affects the price in Walford

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
