Non-slip bath coating in Margery

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Margery

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. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in Margery

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you come to Margery?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Margery. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Margery

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

What affects the price in Margery

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Margery. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KT20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Margery

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.
