What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Larkton

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Larkton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Rural addresses like Larkton just need a little planning. Let us know about access and where to park, and we will take care of the rest.

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Larkton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

For older houses around Larkton, near landmarks such as Holy Trinity Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and non-slip bath coating gives it years more use.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to Larkton. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Larkton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Larkton

My house in Larkton is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Normally, yes. Older baths and shower trays are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.

Do you come out to small places like Larkton?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

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.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down 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. Somewhere like Larkton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the non-slip bath coating comes with us in one trip.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. In an older home in a village like Larkton, replacing a bath or shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

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.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
