About our non-slip bath coating in Holt Wood

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Holt Wood?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holt Wood

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holt Wood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Holt Wood

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.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
