Non-slip bath coating at your home in Walton Elm

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Walton Elm

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Walton Elm?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Walton Elm and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What affects the price in Walton Elm

We don’t charge extra for travel to Walton Elm. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Walton Elm?

Instead, you could go for 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Walton Elm. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

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

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
