Non-slip bath coating in Dunford Bridge

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating in Dunford Bridge without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dunford Bridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Dunford Bridge

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

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Dunford Bridge

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
