Non-slip bath coating near Loxford

When to call us in Loxford

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Loxford

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Loxford included. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Loxford. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Loxford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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’ll say what we think before booking.
