Non-slip bath coating near Yarnfield

Non-slip bath coating in Yarnfield without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Yarnfield. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Yarnfield

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Yarnfield.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you come to Yarnfield?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Yarnfield and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
