Need non-slip bath coating in Featherstone?

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Featherstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Non-slip bath coating in Featherstone without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Featherstone

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A 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.

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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 any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
