Non-slip bath coating at your home in Dudley

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Cost

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Near you in Dudley

Our clients here include homes close to St James Academy, Blowers Green Primary School and Gurdwara Guru Teg Bhadar pub and the streets around them.

Why repair rather than replace?

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 adds grip to the bath you have.

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What affects the price in Dudley

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dudley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

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

How the damage happens

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions from Dudley

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Are there extra charges for Dudley?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Dudley?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Dudley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
