Trusted non-slip bath coating in Little Bowden

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Little Bowden

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Little Bowden

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Bowden

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Little Bowden questions

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Little Bowden?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
