Trusted non-slip bath coating in Bearton

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bearton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Bearton

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Questions from Bearton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Bearton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Landlord and trade work in Bearton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.
