Common questions in Ellingham

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Ellingham?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ellingham.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Ellingham

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ellingham and across Suffolk. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What affects the price in Ellingham

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ellingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
