Non-slip bath coating near Eccleston

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eccleston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Eccleston

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Eccleston

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

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 generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

  • Acrylic baths

What affects the price in Eccleston

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
