Need non-slip bath coating in Cranhill?

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cranhill

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

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cranhill as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Cranhill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Warwickshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Cranhill: your questions answered

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, 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 Cranhill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cranhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When to call us in Cranhill

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

Customers typically contact us about:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Cranhill

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for 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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
