Non-slip bath coating in Blythburgh

About our non-slip bath coating in Blythburgh

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Blythburgh

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: 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.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Blythburgh questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blythburgh

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blythburgh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
