Non-slip bath coating in Weston

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

About our non-slip bath coating in Weston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Weston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When to call us in Weston

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
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Weston

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover Weston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Weston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
