Trusted non-slip bath coating in Wootton

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Non-slip bath coating in Wootton without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Wootton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wootton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Wootton

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Wootton

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you work in Wootton?

We do. Technicians travel to Wootton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
