10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating in Elemore Vale, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

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.

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Elemore Vale questions

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

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

Do you come to Elemore Vale?

We do. We send a technician to Elemore Vale for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH5 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Elemore Vale. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Elemore Vale

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
