Non-slip bath coating in Bishop's Moat

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bishop's Moat

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Bishop's Moat

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Bishop's Moat, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Bishop's Moat

Instead, you could go for 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Bishop's Moat clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Bishop's Moat questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
