Need non-slip bath coating in Boulge?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Non-slip bath coating in Boulge without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before you book.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Boulge. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Boulge

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

When to call us in Boulge

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
