Non-slip bath coating in Wantage

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Wantage

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Wantage. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wantage. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: 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?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we are called out for in Wantage

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Wantage

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Wantage?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Wantage included. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
