Non-slip bath coating at your home in High Cross

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in High Cross and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Cross

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to High Cross. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

If you’re in High Cross and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

High Cross: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you cover High Cross?

We do. We send a technician to High Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in High Cross

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in High Cross

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits 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.
