Trusted non-slip bath coating in Great Tew

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Great Tew. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Great Tew

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually 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 leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Great Tew, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Great Tew?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Great Tew questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Great Tew?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Tew and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
