Non-slip bath coating in Crabbs Cross

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Worcestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Crabbs Cross

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crabbs Cross and across Worcestershire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Crabbs Cross

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price
