How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are there extra charges for Christmas Common?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Christmas Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will I see the coating?

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Christmas Common

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Christmas Common and across Oxfordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Christmas Common

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

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

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

Before booking anyone

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Christmas Common. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Christmas Common

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Christmas Common

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Christmas Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
