Non-slip bath coating near Apsley

What a repair can’t fix

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

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

Materials we work on in Apsley

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Apsley

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Apsley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Apsley?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Apsley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

What happens on the day

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’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Apsley

Will I see the coating?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Apsley?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Apsley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Apsley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
