Trusted non-slip bath coating in Yarnacott

About our non-slip bath coating in Yarnacott

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Yarnacott

Do you work in Yarnacott?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Yarnacott and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Yarnacott?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EX32 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Repairing versus replacing in Yarnacott

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Yarnacott. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Yarnacott

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yarnacott as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price
