Non-slip bath coating in Maplehurst

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Non-slip bath coating in Maplehurst without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Maplehurst

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers typically contact us about:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Maplehurst

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Maplehurst.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maplehurst

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Maplehurst, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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