Non-slip bath coating for Wetheringsett homes

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Wetheringsett, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wetheringsett use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

About our non-slip bath coating in Wetheringsett

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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Wetheringsett

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Wetheringsett

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Wetheringsett questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
