How we handle non-slip bath coating in Colbost

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. 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, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Colbost as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Colbost. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Colbost get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Colbost

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Colbost: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Are there extra charges for Colbost?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Repair or replace in Colbost?

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. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colbost

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
