Non-slip bath coating at your home in Fairwater

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. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, 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.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Fairwater: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Fairwater?

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

Do you work in Fairwater?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fairwater. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What affects the price in Fairwater

We charge the same across the UK, including Fairwater. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Fairwater

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Fairwater

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
