Non-slip bath coating in Marchington Woodlands

Non-slip bath coating in Marchington Woodlands, done in place

It suits 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. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Marchington Woodlands

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Landlord and trade work in Marchington Woodlands

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Marchington Woodlands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

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

What we can’t put right

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Marchington Woodlands

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Marchington Woodlands

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
