Need non-slip bath coating in Kelshall?

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kelshall

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Kelshall. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SG8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Kelshall

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Kelshall included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
