Non-slip bath coating in West Dean

Non-slip bath coating at your home in West Dean

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

Repair or replace in West Dean?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What affects the price in West Dean

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Dean

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will I see the coating?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
