Non-slip bath coating in Zeal Monachorum without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Zeal Monachorum

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Zeal Monachorum, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace in Zeal Monachorum?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Zeal Monachorum

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Zeal Monachorum

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
