Non-slip bath coating near Abbeydale

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Non-slip bath coating in Abbeydale without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

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

  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. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Abbeydale

Do you work in Abbeydale?

We do. We send a technician to Abbeydale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Landlord and trade work in Abbeydale

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Abbeydale

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

Repairing versus replacing in Abbeydale

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
