Non-slip bath coating near Wivelsfield

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Non-slip bath coating in Wivelsfield without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Wivelsfield?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Wivelsfield questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Wivelsfield and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

What a repair can’t fix

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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
