Need non-slip bath coating in Buildwas?

How the visit works

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

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in Buildwas, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Buildwas?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlord and trade work in Buildwas

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buildwas as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Buildwas

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

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

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
