Non-slip bath coating at your home in Highwood

It’s popular with 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 safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Highwood: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Highwood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Highwood and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Highwood

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s 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.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairing versus replacing in Highwood

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
