Need non-slip bath coating in Fraddam?

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Fraddam

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fraddam as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Fraddam?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Fraddam

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Fraddam, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Fraddam

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
