Repairing versus replacing in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

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 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Brightwell-cum-Sotwell: your questions answered

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
