Non-slip bath coating in Caxton

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Non-slip bath coating in Caxton without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Caxton and across Cambridgeshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Caxton

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths

  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Repairing versus replacing in Caxton

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Caxton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
