Non-slip bath coating in Lower Failand, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bristol and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Lower Failand

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Lower Failand?

We do. We send a technician to Lower Failand for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Lower Failand

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • 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 you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Lower Failand?

Instead, you could go for 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
