How we handle non-slip bath coating in Chatteris

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Chatteris

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chatteris

For anyone letting property in or around Chatteris, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

  • A photo taken from further back

Questions from Chatteris

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Are there extra charges for Chatteris?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you come to Chatteris?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Chatteris?

The alternatives are 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
