Non-slip bath coating in West Studdal without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in West Studdal and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Studdal as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in West Studdal

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in West Studdal

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Studdal.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is 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.

Repair or replace in West Studdal?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we’re called out for in West Studdal

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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy 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 we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
