10 questions to ask before you book

Non-slip bath coating in Corfe Mullen, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Corfe Mullen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

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

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Corfe Mullen, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Corfe Mullen questions

Do you work in Corfe Mullen?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Corfe Mullen. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are you accredited?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Corfe Mullen

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 Corfe Mullen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Corfe Mullen

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

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 price, not a guess.
