When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Calton?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Calton. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Calton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Calton?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
