About our non-slip bath coating in Bude

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Bude. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bude. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Bude

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Bude?

We do. We send a technician to Bude for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Bude. Prices don’t change with location.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bude

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bude as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Bude

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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
