  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

  • Enamelled baths

Non-slip bath coating in Ludwell without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Ludwell

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Which areas do you work in?

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

What happens after I send photos?

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

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Ludwell

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ludwell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ludwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
