Non-slip bath coating in Boars Hill

About our non-slip bath coating in Boars Hill

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Boars Hill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boars Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Boars Hill: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Boars Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Boars Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Boars Hill?

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 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
