Non-slip bath coating in Borden

What we’re called out for in Borden

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Borden

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Borden clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Borden

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will I see the coating?

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

Do you cover Borden?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Borden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Borden

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Borden, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Borden

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
