Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Non-slip bath coating in Ecton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

You are covered after we leave: 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Ecton

For anyone letting property in or around Ecton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Repair or replace in Ecton?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Ecton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Ecton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Customers normally contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Questions from Ecton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ecton?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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