Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating in Buckland without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Buckland and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Common questions in Buckland

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckland

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
