About our non-slip bath coating in Bidston

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Bidston

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

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

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 will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wirral and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Bidston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Bidston

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Bidston

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
