Non-slip bath coating in Winterbourne Abbas

About our non-slip bath coating in Winterbourne Abbas

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. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Winterbourne Abbas and across Dorset. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Questions from Winterbourne Abbas

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover Winterbourne Abbas?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Winterbourne Abbas. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Winterbourne Abbas

We do not charge extra for travel to Winterbourne Abbas. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
