Repairing versus replacing in Bigyn

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Non-slip bath coating in Bigyn without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Bigyn questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Bigyn?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. 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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bigyn

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bigyn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bigyn, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
