Repairing versus replacing in Combs Ford

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Combs Ford

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Combs Ford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Combs Ford

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you come to Combs Ford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Combs Ford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
