Non-slip bath coating near Diss

Non-slip bath coating in Diss without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Diss, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Diss

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Diss as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Diss: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
