About our non-slip bath coating in Benthall

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Benthall

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

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Benthall

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
