Non-slip bath coating for East Ogwell homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our non-slip bath coating in East Ogwell

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in East Ogwell?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in East Ogwell

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in East Ogwell, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in East Ogwell

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
