Need non-slip bath coating in Eastgate?

Non-slip bath coating in Eastgate 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. Our technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Eastgate

Smooth surfaces are 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 most common problems we are called about are:

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

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Questions from Eastgate

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Peterborough. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastgate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Eastgate, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
