Non-slip bath coating near West Lydford

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why West Lydford customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Non-slip bath coating at your home in West Lydford

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Lydford as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

What we are called out for in West Lydford

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Lydford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in West Lydford

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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