Non-slip bath coating near Whitfield

Non-slip bath coating in Whitfield, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Whitfield and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Whitfield

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Landlord and trade work in Whitfield

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Whitfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Repair or replace in Whitfield?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whitfield

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
