Trusted non-slip bath coating in Westdene

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Westdene

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Westdene

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Westdene?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
