Non-slip bath coating in Weare Giffard, done in place

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Weare Giffard

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Weare Giffard. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Weare Giffard get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Weare Giffard

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Weare Giffard and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Weare Giffard

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
