Non-slip bath coating near West Chelborough

Non-slip bath coating in West Chelborough, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

West Chelborough questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you work in West Chelborough?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Chelborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Chelborough use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in West Chelborough?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Common reasons people in West Chelborough contact us are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again

How we price non-slip bath coating

  • How many items we do on one visit

  • Unusual colours or finishes

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in West Chelborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
