Book non-slip bath coating in Filham

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Filham

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 safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Filham: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Filham

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Filham. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Filham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
