Non-slip bath coating in Wareham

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Wareham

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Wareham

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Wareham: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave 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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Wareham

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wareham, and we will reply with a fixed price.
