Non-slip bath coating for Great Stambridge homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Great Stambridge

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Great Stambridge questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Stambridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we cannot put right

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Great Stambridge

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

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

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Stambridge

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Stambridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
