Non-slip bath coating in Kingswood

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kingswood

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingswood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Kingswood

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Kingswood is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
