Non-slip bath coating near Welby

What we are called out for in Welby

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Choosing a repair company

About our non-slip bath coating in Welby

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

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 Welby

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace in Welby?

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Welby

There is no area surcharge for Welby. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Welby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
