Related advice

Non-slip bath coating in Denstroude, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Denstroude

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Denstroude

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t 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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Denstroude questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Outdoor surfaces

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