A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We 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

  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Escott

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t 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.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re 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 put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Escott. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip 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.

Common questions in Escott

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Landlord and trade work in Escott

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Escott

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
