Need non-slip bath coating in Fersfield Common?

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

Non-slip bath coating in Fersfield Common without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Advice

What affects the price in Fersfield Common

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t 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.

Fersfield Common: your questions answered

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Fersfield Common. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Common problems we fix in Fersfield Common

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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