Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lidgate

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Lidgate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Lidgate

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Lidgate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: 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 you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Questions from Lidgate

Are there extra charges for Lidgate?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When to call us in Lidgate

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

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