Non-slip bath coating in Dowlish Wake, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Dowlish Wake

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Dowlish Wake?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do I have to be there?

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

What affects the price in Dowlish Wake

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

Common problems we fix in Dowlish Wake

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Dowlish Wake

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
