Non-slip bath coating in Emneth without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in Emneth

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Emneth

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Emneth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Emneth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Common questions in Emneth

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
