Non-slip bath coating in Cranfield

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cranfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

About our non-slip bath coating in Cranfield

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cranfield as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cranfield

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranfield use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Cranfield?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish
