Non-slip bath coating in Five Oaks without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Five Oaks and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

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

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Five Oaks

Are there extra charges for Five Oaks?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Five Oaks

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.
