Non-slip bath coating in Copt Heath

About our non-slip bath coating in Copt Heath

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, 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 usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Copt Heath and across Solihull. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

What we are called out for in Copt Heath

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Copt Heath. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Copt Heath

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Copt Heath?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
