How we handle non-slip bath coating in Elsthorpe

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Elsthorpe. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Elsthorpe, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Elsthorpe

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we are called out for in Elsthorpe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
