Non-slip bath coating in Barrmill, done in place

It’s popular with 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 worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Barrmill

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Barrmill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in Barrmill

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

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

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Barrmill?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Barrmill

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 non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
