Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lindsell

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

You’re 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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Lindsell

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.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Lindsell

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Lindsell

For anyone letting property in or around Lindsell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Lindsell

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lindsell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Lindsell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
