Trusted non-slip bath coating in Chelveston

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Non-slip bath coating in Chelveston, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chelveston

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Chelveston. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Chelveston: your questions answered

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Chelveston?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

We work UK-wide, so Chelveston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
