How to compare quotes

Non-slip bath coating in Ayresome without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 typically cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ayresome

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

What affects the price in Ayresome

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

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TS5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ayresome

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ayresome as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Ayresome: your questions answered

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I clean it?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
