Need non-slip bath coating in Brinian?

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Brinian

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Brinian questions

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What information do you need?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Brinian?

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

Common reasons people in Brinian contact us are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brinian

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Brinian. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
