Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating in Colesbrook without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Colesbrook

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Colesbrook, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Colesbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Colesbrook

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Colesbrook questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Colesbrook?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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