Non-slip bath coating at your home in Walsgrave on Sowe

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Walsgrave on Sowe?

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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

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

Questions from Walsgrave on Sowe

Do you come to Walsgrave on Sowe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Walsgrave on Sowe and the rest of Coventry. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Walsgrave on Sowe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
