How we handle non-slip bath coating in Henstridge Bowden

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Henstridge Bowden. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Henstridge Bowden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Henstridge Bowden

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Henstridge Bowden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
