Non-slip bath coating in Wells-next-the-Sea

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Non-slip bath coating in Wells-next-the-Sea without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wells-next-the-Sea as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wells-next-the-Sea

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wells-next-the-Sea as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Is there any odour?

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
