You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Non-slip bath coating in Higher Chisworth, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairing versus replacing in Higher Chisworth

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Higher Chisworth: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Higher Chisworth included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How soon can you come?

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

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.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Higher Chisworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
